    French pre-dreadnought.

    The cockpit is gorgeous. That Turkey is loaded with details. And your usual painting and finishing is the cherry on top.

    Good job, OC. Early Airfix?
  4. Canute
    Lou, rattle cans for primers. Airbrush for final colors

    Lou, you might want to wash the parts with Dawn. It's a good grease cutter. Don't touch the plastic with your bare mitts after that; possible finger oil transfer. Get some cheap latex/nitrile gloves. Try a rattle can of Tamiya fine gray primer. It's a good primer. Start and stop the spray before you get to the model parts and keep the spray moving.

    Cap, we do that down in western NC at the Apple Valley Model RR. We are an HO railroad, running DCC. Stuck a GoPro on a flatcar and took these videos. We added a mask into the video of diesel cab windows. We're working on putting a drone camera into an HO loco. https://www.avmrc.com/layout-videos.html Our outdoor RR in G scale is already doing this, since there is plenty of space in those loco cabs. Haven't done a video of that, yet.

    I believe only the Germans put dive brakes on some of their medium bombers (Ju-88, Do-217). They wasted a lot of time trying to qualify the Me-262 jet as a dive bomber. Adolph was enamored with that tactic. Paint job is looking good, Denis. Nice stand, hope it works as intended.

    Lou is correct on the flaps. They are lift devices and allow the a/c to fly slower. We had speedbrakes on the F-4, under the wings. They drooped on the ground with no hydraulic pressure. The F-15 has a speedbrake on top of the fuselage.

    Greg, this will be a novel build. It's tiny! Be interesting seeing you work your magic on this boat.👍

    Craig, looking forward to another excellent build from you. I see a tribute bird, right?

    Batter's box is an American baseball term. It's where the batter/hitter stands to take his swings against the opposing pitcher. A euphemism for going one on one with an opponent. Nice job painting your crew, OC.
  12. Canute
    My condolences, too. Nice job with the the AAA weapons.
  13. Canute
    Beautiful work, as always, Greg.👍👍

    I think they used a blue and white roundel. Similar to the RAF/FAA, without the red center.
  15. Canute
    Looks like something out of a 1950s B flick. Round down area looks good.
  16. Canute
    The OD is looking better, Denis. I think the WEM paint is some of the better stuff around. Good digging with your research.
  17. Canute
    Take a look at this guy's site. Maybe not the exact bottles you need, but quality bottles and vials. Chem lab grade plastics: https://modelpaintsol.com/
  18. Canute
    Yes, OC. I'm sure the ground forces feel better when they have some of them for night cover. And maybe a few A-10 Hogs around during the day. 😀

    Yeah, the original was used to sell war bonds, so it was a compilation of 8th AF missions. "12 O'clock High" was similar. AF Command and Staff school used it as a command study. A lot of the aerial shots were real gun camera shots. And yes those bomber crews had a high mortality rate until 1944, when we could send Mustangs up as long range escorts for them. Lose one plane and 10 guys didn't come home.

    Saw an AC-130 Specter gunship doing his thing one night. 20mm, 37mm(I think) and a 105 mm for good measure. Charley would be hurtin', for certain. And we threw some CBU cans on top of all that. Wasting trucks on the Trail on Laos. The gunship would mark the target with a call for the 20mm of sparkle and boy did it.
  21. Canute
    A Loach. Sounds like it was fun to fly.
  22. Canute
    Superb ship, Greg. Beautiful bird farm.
  23. Canute
    Looking good, Jack. Plexiglas cover to cut down the dust?

    They may have been lawyers, but many served in the Continental Army (Monroe and Hamilton) or had their lives messed with by the Redcoats. Hence, the Bill of Rights for all of us.

    I think it was the Navy with that motto. In fighters, it was "Fly, Fight and Win". 30K only if we were going a long way. I spent a lot of time around 500ft and sometimes a lot lower. Like below 100 feet. At 420-480Kts (480-550 MPH). Not much time for sightseeing. Usually de-conflicting us from the ground and keeping the jet on course.

About the NRG

If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.

The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.

The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
